ORGANISERS of a charity bike ride are on the lookout for Flintshire people to take part in the upcoming fundraiser.

Clatterbridge Cancer Research is looking for participants for its second annual Circle of Hope bike ride on Sunday, May 16.

All money raised will further the Wirral-based charity’s world class genetic research into the causes and treatment of cancer.

The event will start and finish at Hope Parish Hall in Hope and cyclists will have the opportunity to choose one of three routes – gold, silver or bronze – and cycle through the countryside of North Wales and Cheshire.

The gold route will be a 100-miles ride through Flintshire, Denbighshire, Wrexham and Cheshire.

The silver route will be 50 miles and the bronze route will take riders on a flatter, 25-mile ride.

Registration costs £15, £12 for teams of 10 or more and anyone interested in taking part is asked to pledge to raise £30 sponsorship.

About 100 people took part in last year’s event and this year the charity hopes to see 500 participants.
